<p class="commentary firstcommentary"><a id="SP1" class="paragraph-anchor"></a><b>&#167;1. </b>Inpolicy is not part of the main Inform compiler and is not shipped inside the
Inform apps. Instead, it's used as a stand-alone command-line tool by the
maintainers of Inform: it is a lint-like tool for checking that the Inform
source code complies with some self-imposed social norms. At present it's
fairly minimal, but does a useful job in checking whether problem messages
are covered by test cases.
</p>

<p class="commentary">At present, there's no formal style guide for the source code in this
repository. There probably ought to be one, and when that happens, Inpolicy
should probably check compliance with it.
</p>

<p class="commentary">Inpolicy is a small literate program, and is not divided into modules.
</p>

<ul class="items"><li>&#9679; The contents page for the Inpolicy web is here: <a href="inpolicy/index.html" class="internal">inpolicy</a>.
</li><li>&#9679; See <a href="inpolicy/M-ui.html" class="internal">Manual (in inpolicy)</a> and <a href="inpolicy/M-rc.html" class="internal">Reference Card (in inpolicy)</a> for usage.
</li></ul>
<p class="commentary firstcommentary"><a id="SP2" class="paragraph-anchor"></a><b>&#167;2. </b>Inpolicy contains the basic <a href="foundation/index.html" class="internal">foundation</a> library, but none of the <a href="services.html" class="internal">services</a>.
